According to numerous reports from human rights organizations, men, women and children were attacked in the United States, Canada, Western Europe and certain parts of Africa and Asia, not because of anything they had done, the way they acted or what they said, but because they belonged or were thought to belong to a particular religious or ethnic group or community.
Según muchos informes de las organizaciones de protección de los derechos humanos, se ha agredido a hombres, mujeres y niños en los Estados Unidos, el Canadá, Europa occidental y algunas regiones de África y de Asia, no a causa de sus actos, conducta o declaraciones, sino de su pertenencia, real o supuesta, religiosa, étnica o comunitaria.
